Stout, and others, which were received with great enthusiasm. We have on ly space for the brief ona of of Mr. Stoot, iccepting the noininatiou for Governor : Mr. Stolt said tliat he liad received the annouiicomeiit of the oommitteo appointed to wait on him with nnfcigncd regret, not that lio (lid not sympatliize with the movement so gloriously inauguretéd, but other and personal oonsideralions rendered it almost impossiblo í'or him to nccept tlio nomirmtion for Governor. Ho was willing, however lo make any sacrifiue for the cause of the Union. He thanked them for the unexpeuted honor tbey had conferí ed upon him. lie accepted it with pre.it reluotanCe, as it had been chargod by the enemies of this nmvenient that its advoetitos wcre disappointed political aspirant, and adoptcd this metbod to hoist theni.selves into high places. Nothing, however, had bee:; : farther from bis niind tlian that he should be the nominee of the convention for the high and responsible office of Cluef Exucutive of the Statu. He was for the Union unqualifiodly ; but while wc are laboring to put down the rebclüon, u-e must nlsn put down thal other heresij which ! declares that the conslitutwn is not str.ng ( vnougli to erttsh out the rcbellion. It was niwerful to crush out trtason anuivhere. ( f it is not, tlien it cannot sustaiu itself, and we must start anew. Hu had beon ledged to this kind of a movenient ever ineotliewar began. ]t was this that haped his course in thu Legislatura, last vin tur, when he voted for tho niinority resolutions, for wliich he had been loudly cindemned by some. Abraham Lincoln, he said, was the only constituted authority thrcmgh which we could supprnsa treason and rebellion, and it must bo done through him if at all. Let us ignore party lines for the present, and také the coustitution as our motto, and we shall succeed in our efforts to restore tho Union. liefore adjoarnin the following gen lemen were nained as a State Ceutrul Dommittee: AtLarge-J). B. Duffield. lint District- V. H. Cleveland Second District - L. H. Frost. Tkird District- M. Follett. Fourth Dislrict-F. W. Anthony. Fijíh District- A. C. Baldwin . Sú-th Distriri-k. Thayer.
